1951 Map of Y U Bench NW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Y U Bench dominates this high-plains landscape in Wyoming's Park County, revealing a complex network of water management features developed for early 20th-century agriculture. The topographic data highlights the defunct Wiley Canal (Aban'd) in the northwest, a relic of ambitious irrigation projects that shaped the Missouri River Basin. In the lower southeast corner, the Greybull R flows past the Keystone Burlington-Meeteetse Ditch and Jimmerfield Ditch, demonstrating how water was diverted from the river to the arid benchland. The terrain is defined by the branching drainage systems of the North Fork Dry Creek and South Fork Dry Creek within the wider Dry Creek Basin. Local transportation and landmarks are sparse but specific, including Lone Tree Crossing, a solitary Gravel Pit, and various survey markers like Beach.
